Nothing ushers in Holi (and springtime) like color and crafts. All last week, we featured Holi crafts on the Blog - fun with paper, glue, glitter and even dhal. Check out our ideas - and create some of your own.
However you can, involve your kids with Holi. Check with your local temple or Eknazar listings or stage a casual gathering in your backyard. The elation, the messiness and the display of color, community and friendship: there's nothing like it in the world!
Happy Holi!

Perfect to display on your fireplace mantel, bookcase or tabletop – as a reminder to get in the Holi mood! Just one of the projects we featured as part of our Holi Craft Week. Read More...
